Honor Kennedy's legacy by voting for Coakley



Honor Kennedy's legacy by voting for Coakley


I have watched and admired the career of Martha Coakley for over 20 years and was delighted when she was the first to throw her hat into the ring.

As our attorney general she has taken on large corporations like the utilities, Wall Street firms, and health care insurers and providers. She has won millions of dollars for the taxpayers of Massachusetts by prosecuting companies involved with abusive nursing homes, predatory lending scams and health insurance fraud. She saved customers $100 million in unfair rate increases from utility companies and has recovered $135 million from Wall Street finance firms. All these issues are of concern to Cape Cod families and elders.

Coakley has always had the courage to take action and make business, and even our own government, "play by the rules." She can be relied upon to defend the underdog and to speak for the people.
I believe her long record shows she is the candidate who can carry on the social justice mission of the most effective senator in the history of the U.S. — our own Ted Kennedy. I urge voters to honor Kennedy's legacy by choosing her in the primary election on Dec. 8.
